I can share the whole thing once it works at least reasonably well. My design files are a bit out of date, due to on the fly realizations and manufacturing issues.
I have been going back and forth regarding making these for $, but I know myself well enough that the thrill will be gone after a short time.
It must fit under the bottom of the SP5 Z transom with risers ( 5.3 inches plus a little ).
Have it hold as long a piece as I can fit in a 4x2 table. That is why it’s in two assemblies.
An assembly has two sets of opposing fingers to hang on to dissimilar sized stock ends.
I used the Longworth chuck design to draw the fingers in ( or out ) so it should find it’s own center. Nice in theory, tough in implementation ( at least for this garage hack ).
The rest of the design allows for timing the two sets to establish a zero angle, then whatever angle increments that you want.
The base has slots for mounting to the SP5 table T tracks. I have three locations for the Vertical mount to the base to allow more flexibility mounting to the T tracks.
I have a second piece of stock, mounted and aligned ( I hope ), ready for cutting tomorrow.
The goal is minimal transition marks between each angle increment. We will see how that goes.
The stock is relatively square, not planed, ends are not square. That was one of the design intents, less than perfect stock. The current stock is about 3.375 square x 22 inches long.
The alignment process is not fun right now. Too many degrees of freedom, so the order is important. Still working that aspect.
How much time have I spent in the workshop?? …No idea! That’s why I built a clock and to make it a little special, each hour is a different species of wood I like to film my projects so you can watch the build video if you’re interested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=REPYdGGGCho
What a cool idea and they look great! Do you mind if I ask where you get the clock mechanisms that you’re using? I’ve tried a number of them from Amazon and none of them kept correct time past a few weeks.
@ksymons I only finished it this weekend so am sadly too early to comment, I got this one from Amazon so perhaps it won’t be the best - will have to wait and find out!
Good luck. I was afraid to send out the clocks I made to anyone. It would have been embarrassing if they didn’t keep accurate time for long. I also tried carbon zinc batteries because I read somewhere that they worked better with the quartz mechanisms but they didn’t help.
Yeah that would stress me out if it was for someone else, fortunately this one is just for me so not the end of the world if it loses a couple of minutes. I’m hoping it won’t though!
I really like the look and using different species is a great idea! Using cutoffs and scraps that I’d normally throw away could be a good material source for something like that. Might be time to start a new design session here
A Christmas Gift for my mother. Didn’t realize my cutters weren’t deep enough at first. After finding a longer 1/8 ball end mill I was back in business. .013 step over maybe a little overkill but I was trying to eliminate some sanding.
Here is the final test cut for the first prototype axis chuck.
I got past a self inflicted setup mistake, changed up a few fastener combinations.
I was too sloppy in the fits so the handle ability is too floppy, but the results aren’t too shabby.
Finally… here’s the finished product!! Top to bottom is cherry, walnut and yep you guessed it…mahogany
I have a base designed that will hold 5 flowers as well so next time I run these I’ll do that setup.
